Leaked Super Smash Bros Footage Reveals New Characters

Last week, we got some sketchy images suggesting that Duck Hunt Dog, Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles, Dark Pit from Kid Icarus: Uprising, Bowser Jr., and Doctor Mario are joining the roster for the new Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U titles. Well, now we have some legitimate footage, it seems. A leaker has taken to Youtube to post up five videos featuring gameplay footage of characters like Shulk, Lucina, and Bowser Jr. We also get to see Ganondorf in action who, unfortunately, seems to retain his moveset found in both Melee and Brawl and not a reworked kit like people expected.

In the first video: Bowser, Bowser Jr., Pikachu, and Kirby duke it out on Battlefield.

In the second: Lucina and Shulk finish up their teams match against Ganondorf and Charizard on returning stage Yoshi’s Island from Brawl. Here, we get to see Shulk in the results area.

The third video seems to be the full match that precedes the second video.

The fourth video is a brief snippet that shows Bowser Jr.’s screen KO.

And the final video is a continuation of the earlier match on Battlefield.

Whereas Shulk and Bowser Jr. have a lot of screen time here, it’s interesting to note that Dark Pit and Doctor Mario do not show up at all, as well as Duck Hunt Dog. Where could they be?
